I spent way too much time outside with way too little sunblock. Thank God it’s still really early in the season or I’d be in the hospital by now. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. I was outside at my parents’ house playing with kites, punching balls and a frisbee, and then we moved to Coolidge Park in Fitchburg where we played Wiffle ball and used our rubber boots to investigate the “stream”.
Let me point out that it’s spring, and it’s a wet spring, and the stream was closer to a river. Yes, one child went face-first into the water and no, it wasn’t mine. Whew! Junior did have to ride home in his underwear, because some water did splash onto his pants over the top of the boots. But you know those scenes in movies where someone takes off a shoe and pours water out? That was my nephew. It looked just like it does on TV!
